The product group "Toggle clamps, power clamps" by KIPP includes various styles of clamps and matching accessories. Toggle clamps are also known as power clamps.
Toggle clamps and power clamps by KIPP
Toggle clamps are used to hold and clamp workpieces. They are intended for assembly and clamping technology, as well as tool making and fixture construction. In those areas toggle clamps not only serve as assembly fixtures, but also as retaining devices.
The advantages of power clamps are manifold. To begin with, clamps have a very high clamping force of 22 kN to 49 kN. Clamps and their elements are easy to install and have a low overall height. As with mounting, clamping is very quick and simple. Power clamps are infinitely adjustable in height and length.
Styles of toggle clamps and power clamps
The KIPP range includes different models of toggle clamps made from steel and stainless steel. The range includes the following types of toggle clamps:
Horizontal and vertical toggle clamps (H4)
Horizontal and vertical toggle clamps can be distinguished by the initial position of the operating lever. The starting position of the operating lever is horizontal for horizontal toggle clamps and vertical for vertical toggle clamps.
The grip element of both types is made of plastic. The grip is comfortable to use and oil-resistant.
The clamping height of KIPP toggle clamps can be adjusted via the thrust screw. The thrust screw enables infinitely variable adjustment within a range of 35 mm with an almost constant clamping force. The thrust force can be adjusted up to 2,500 N to meet requirements using a set screw located under the lever in the joint.
Push-pull toggle clamps
These are characterised by their compact design. The force exerted by push-pull toggle clamps is linear. In addition to high retaining forces, the simple and easy-to-understand handling is another advantage of push-pull toggle clamps.
Pneumatic clamps
Are not operated manually. Pneumatic clamps are operated by compressed air. This means pneumatic clamps can be integrated into automated processes and systems. Any conventional compressed air system can be used for operation. Thanks to automation the end positions can be easily monitored.
Toggle presses
The KIPP range includes manual and pneumatic toggle presses. Both option allow the clamp itself to be easily attached to suit respective mounting requirements. The thrust screw can also be manually adjusted to suit the situation. The toggle presses are available as manual or pneumatic options.
Extensions to standard styles
KIPP has further developed its range of toggle clamps to add to the standard styles listed above.
The result are toggle clamps with:
KIPP lock
which features an ergonomic and user-friendly grip shape. Toggle clamps with KIPP lock are very durable. The special surface finish makes the products resistant to corrosion and the conical clamping arm with U-profile makes them particularly sturdy.
KIPP lock+
complements the advantages of KIPP lock with an additional safety interlock. The lever can only be operated after the lock has been released.
KIPP also offers toggle clamps with an integrated force sensor. The products enable precise adjustment and monitoring of clamping forces. The force sensor allows workpieces to be clamped in a defined and traceable manner. As a result, production is documented even more completely in order to identify optimisation opportunities or quality problems.
